Some idea ?.
It looks like teximg uses some less standard LaTeX packages. (see line 100 of Ikiwiki/Plugin/teximg.pm in the Ikiwiki source.)
A quick work-around for an end-user would be to install the 'mhchem' LaTeX package (look in CTAN ).
A medium-term workaround would be to replace 'scrartcl' on line 100 with 'article', and delete line 101 in the teximg source.
Longer term it would be nice to give teximg a configurable preamble.
